They are careful with allergies and have lots of gluten free options. They even have free gluten free cornbread to start your meal off once you let them know you have a gluten allergy

Deanne Newton

This is my new favorite place. They have organic juices, smoothies using TruVani protein powder (which I love) and amazing bowls. No soy, no corn, no gluten. The macro bowl was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!! Please consider opening one in Redondo Beach - we need something just like this. I would be you biggest fan!

The marinara for the gnocchi was delicious ! Minus one star because I wish they'd mark menu items vegan/gluten-free so it's less work to order for customers of that diet.

Jillian Veltri

The location is great! Right next to our hotel, within walking distance w gluten-free and vegan options!! The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!! Also the acai bowls are AMAZING!!

Tara Hudson

Absolutely delicious! I had the butternut squash enchiladas and the chocolate mousse, along with a mocktail. I appreciate a vegan restaurant that has plenty of satisfying gluten free options, which Seabird does. The service was friendly and attentive. Enthusiastically recommended!!

Lily Ford

Amazing gluten free chicken!! This is the only place I’ve found that has gluten free fried chicken it was 10/10. Their fries were also great and they have some really good sauce options.

Mitchell Snowman

I rarely bother to leave positive reviews, but this place was truly special. Best Italian I've ever had, hands down. Bonus: all dishes can be made gluten free (no charge) if you want. Price was the same or less than big chain Italian restaurants, but the pasta was WAY better. I’ll be going back to try more. It’s rare to find really good food like this.

Richard Gonzales

This is our go to place for a few reasons. First, my wife has celiacs so the gluten free pancakes along with the safe handling by the cooks above makes it worth it. Second, the food is perfect no matter what you order. They answer any questions you have and accommodate almost any requests for food prep. Third, the friendliness! The staff are great and remember us even though we may not visit frequently enough to warrant it! If you were just thinking about eating here, do yourself a favor and just go!

Love visiting Breakfast Republic during breakfast hours. Excellent service, delicious food priced reasonably and served in generous portions. Great selection of gluten-free options are available too.

Morgan Engel

Finest burger in the area, super nice staff. Not only that, but they offer gluten free and paleo options. I got the classic burger and fries and would definitely recommend both.

Kiandra Hebert, Ph.D.

Enjoyed this place. Great healthy menu. Lot of gluten free options. Nice atmosphere. Sometimes service is a bit off but usually it's fine. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you.

Mackenzie Cruz

The food is always so delicious and great quality. It can get busy and crowded at times, and around lunch in weekdays, good luck! But they do a great job being careful about cross contact with food options. I have Celiac and they are careful about gluten free sandwich preparation.

Kat Smith

great for celiac!! all their sauces are gf so you can get anything on their gluten free penne which is made in a separate pot 🤍🤍🤍 been coming for years and never sick always delish and my food is flagged GF

Jacob Wheeler

This was a great experience! I have tried other gluten free pizza that I think are disgusting, but their gluten free pizza was the best I have ever had! The severs were super nice and the food was excellent! It was suggested to try the truffle fries, and we were glad we did! Definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

Susan Paulus

My favorite vegan place to get a burger 🍔 they also have gluten free buns.

tina waugh

Omg thank you so much I am celiac and found this wonderful place which is now our weekly place. It’s so difficult finding places that do gluten free and per friendly…..best tacos ever and kindest staff. Definitely our favorite….. x Tina

I am OBSESSED with the gluten-free brownie, like top 5 of my LIFE. I'm not often in a pizza mood & love veggie-forward dishes so I ordered the 3-dish veggie offering called Farmers Choice for only $16.50. The sweet potato was cooked perfectly and so darn tasty. The broccolini hit the spot. And I was pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower combo of heat and mint.

Brittany Pattin

My mom and I had an amazing brunch experience. The avocado toast was the best we’ve ever had along with their coffee. Lots of gluten free options too. Our server, Mia was so friendly, kind and attentive! Beautiful and peaceful outdoor patio. I highly recommend this spot!

Chris Ganiere

Good pizza. Thick crust. Options for gluten free & cauliflower crust.

Carrie Park

Very cute restaurant located at The Camp. Service was great with friendly waitstaff, and the food was yummy. I dined with a friend who is on a strict gluten free diet, and she was happy to find discover that Vitaly had tons of gluten free options on their menu! Looking forward to trying some gelato next time.

paige ballard

Absolutely love this place but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GLUTEN FREE BREAD?!

Karla B.

Love this place! The food is excellent and I appreciate that they have a gluten free pizza option. Our server was so kind and attentive, just want to say thank you!

Daniel Walton

Most underrated spot in Newport/costa mesa area. Their chicken bowl with sesame ginger sauce is borderline life changing. The chicken is clean and always juicy, no chemicals or processed food like some of the chains on 17th. I eat here nearly everyday cuz it’s healthy and helps me hit my macros. They also have the best chocolate chip cookies, better than crumbl. All gluten free too!

Cassandra Hansen

Second time ordering from here and obsessed. The Japanese Sweet Potato soup is out of this world; one of the best soups I’ve had. The soccata is amazing as well. Pizzas are wonderful. I’m very pleased with all of the gluten-free and vegan or dairy free options. 10/10.

Brian Center

Always a good meal. They have a gluten free menu available on request. It's also fairly easy to eat healthy here.

Daniel Pappas

Amazing food! Got the veggie turkey sandwich with gluten-free bread. Wow, delicious!

Shawn Rocha

NOT GLUTEN FREE: Shouldn’t Advertise as Gluten Free. You cook your so called GF chips in the same oil as everything else that’s not GF. Good thing I asked. Didn’t matter though, got cross contaminated eating the GF tacos and was sick for 2 days.

Emily Anderson

IT IS super cute, LOVE the colors and vibe, BUT it's way overpriced and the food was OK. You walk up and order and there was quote a line of "newport-esque moms" n yoga peeps, then you have to find a table. It was pretty busy and the coffee was good, but small for almost $7. I basically got bacon, eggs and toast for $15, and my son got their waffle which is gluten free and DRY. Could definitely tell it was gluten free. I think they are gearing towards gluten free for sire and healthy ush, but it was just way overpriced for me and out of the way for me too.

Morgan Lindsay

Delightful ramen place - the broth was delicious, service was excellent, and the pork belly tasted very high quality. And they have gluten-free noodles! And hot sake. It's a small spot, so might be worth getting on the wait list if you want to dine in. Saw a lot of takeout orders happening. There are also other Japanese restaurants and a cute coffee shop in the same shopping center.

Jen C. Bullington

Great food and really good at accommodating for gluten free eaters.

Hannah Jenkins

Love this place! Great staff, food, and so many gluten free options

E Szontagh

Upscale looking restaurant that is priced accordingly. Food was flavorful, but did not sit well with some of us afterwards. They can modify dishes to be gluten and dairy free.

Esteban Arteaga

Our favorite Pho spot! Especially if you're gluten free or want to eat organic chicken. No MSGs.

Dillon Carlyon

These are really the most finely crafted sandwiches you'll find! Every single one is so amazingly delicious! The gluten free wrap that they use is also very good! They also serve breakfast and coffee! Couldn't recommend it more! The Maddock Melee, the tuna melt, and the Perfect Burger are my favorites.

Tara Silva

Amazing service and super delicious food. I have Celiac so I needed something gluten free and had a delicious GF chicken fettuccine alfredo. My family loved their meals as well. Would highly recommend!

Roberta Wall

My friend and I ordered ribeye steak dinners, baked potatoes and grilled vegetables, and we both loved our dinners! I need to eat gluten free, and they were careful to avoid gluten ingredients and cross-contamination.

Emily Vizena

Nice option to get takeout last minute. Lots of options which I love! Everything from sushi, vegan food, gluten free, acai bowls.

Sarah Miller

One of my favorite go-to spots for a comforting and delicious meal! Food is exceptional, staff are always so friendly and kind, and as someone with a lot of food sensitivities, I appreciate the gluten free and dairy free options available. A must-try in the area.

Dr. Donna Grogan

xlnt. Has gluten-free buns for burgers so everyone in our group of 8 could all eat good stuff.

Teton Backcountry Rentals Jackson Hole

Friendly and good food! Gluten free bread was great

Tyler Yarborough

Lior Seidel

Melissa Mitchell

This place is great. It's a good place to get some work done. It's spacious with lots of places to sit inside and out. They have charging docs if you need to reup your tech juice. They have some specialty menu items. I personally love the bullet proof that has cacao or the turmeric latte. They have non-dairy milk alternatives which is great. I loooove their gluten free banana bread! They also have some pretty good jams playing in the background and the staff is super friendly.

Sebastian Gonzales

Love it. I eat her once a month. Gluten free options. The plate with rice and salad is stellar. Quick and easy when I’m in a rush

Chris Ayayo

The food here is pretty good. There are a lot of vegan and gluten free selections. Great value lunch specials. Service not always the friendliest or communicative, but for this price point, a definite standout!

Jeffrey Nessen

This is a fantastic place. The location is convenient to local business, the freeway, the mall and the theater. The food is excellent. They have a wife selection of seafood, including a really bar with daily selection of oysters. There are gluten free options and they are very allergy friendly. Overall I would recommend this place to any seafood lover looking for a nice upscale plane to dine.

Negina Kolesar

I loved my experience here! Gluten free option are listed on the menu. Not too much sauce, so you can really enjoy the freshness. The staff could be better informed about the wine and sake list as far as flavor profiles and pairing recommendations. Shane seemed to really enjoy making the dishes, and he was quick to interact with dinners.

Theri Lewis

I'm a gluten free for life person. I like that I can order a la carte, and the food is delicious!

Zachary Pfaff

Gluten-free soy sauce and options available here! The sushi and staff are great!
